xbox360 red ring

[ozmeister]

Is a red ring on xbox 360 pretty terminal or can i just buy another hard drive ?

The hard drive is not the problem so changing it will have no effect. RRoD is associated with the motherboard. Unusually this will have overheated over time and the contacts have broken. Send it back to Microsoft and have if fixed. They did extend the warranties so if you bought it new you should be OK. If your not warranted then I am afraid i dont know the cost of a repair. If mine where to go outside of warranty I would just go out and buy a basic model without a Hard Drive and put my HD in.

Some rrod problems can be resolved, but sadly more times than any .. its a terminal problem (sorry)

If the console is less than 3 years old you can contact Microsoft who will arrange free collection, repair and return of your console as part of an extended warranty they offer for the RROD problem.

It takes about 2 days to collect it and 7 further days for them to return it to you repaired. All free!
